“Digital 2017 was a great opportunity for us to demo our exciting new VR work to a diverse audience and provided a great testbed to inform some of our decision-making. The networking opportunities with other developers, technologists and potential clients are fantastic and we’re looking forward to attending again in 2018.” Derick Murdoch, Galactig
